“She doesn’t like men”: Tom Hardy’s Mad Max: Fury Road Director Called Cher A Man-Hater Who Can’t Act


The entertainment industry is not only popular for its impeccably compelling works, but also for the drama that rages within. With a new story popping up every once in a while, Hollywood in its off-sets itself is a place with much drama. And the renowned singer cum actress Cher found herself engulfed in the flames of it all with Tom Hardy’s Mad Max: Fury Road director, the late Peter Bogdanovich.
As it turns out, the late filmmaker wasn’t too fond of the pop star and had some harsh words for her after having worked with her, claiming she’d been difficult to work with all the while alleging her to be a ‘man-hater who can’t act.’

The Late Peter Bogdanovich’s Harsh Words For Cher
Although Cher’s man-hating reputation precedes her, the late legendary director Peter Bogdanovich might have taken it a bit too far. While the pair worked on only one movie together, Mask, throughout their respective careers, it wasn’t a pleasurable experience for either. This is evident from Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max: Fury Road filmmaker’s take on the 77-year-old television personality.

During an interview with Vulture, Bogdanovich was asked to name one actor who was the most difficult to work with. Answering with the Believe singer’s name, the director went on to resonate with his claim, saying,
“Well, she didn’t trust anybody, particularly men. She doesn’t like men. That’s why she’s named Cher: She dropped her father’s name. Sarkisian, it is. She can’t act. She won Best Actress at Cannes because I shot her very well.”

Continuing, he explained what he truly meant by saying she ‘couldn’t act’.
“She can’t sustain a scene. She couldn’t do what Tatum [O’Neal] did in Paper Moon. She’d start off in the right direction, but she’d go off wrong somehow, very quickly. So I shot a lot of close-ups of her because she’s very good in close-ups. Her eyes have the sadness of the world. You get to know her, [and] you find out it’s self-pity, but still, it translates well in movies. I shot more close-ups of her than I think in any picture I ever made.”

However, while she might not have performed to her fullest in the late Peter Bogdanovich’s Mask, thus, gaining his disapproval of her, Cher did end up bagging an Oscar two years later in 1987 for her work in Moonstruck.
The Late Peter Bogdanovich’s Dislike For Cher Was Reciprocated
Further in the interview with Vulture, the late visionary was asked about Cher’s opinion of him. To this, he said,
“Cher doesn’t like me.”
Explaining his claim, Peter Bogdanovich said:
“Well, because I didn’t like her. She was always looking like someone was cheating [on] her. I came to the set one day; I said, ‘You depress me, you’re always so down and acting like somebody’s stealing from you or something.’”
However, this mutual dislike seemingly didn’t last for long as the pair started to somewhat get along… only to end up on not-so-good terms when Bogdanovich sued the studios for ruining his movie.
“But finally, after about seven weeks of this, we started getting to like each other. She said, you know, we don’t watch out, we might end up liking each other. I said that would be amazing. And we did end up liking each other, and then when I sued the studio, she sided with the studio, of course. That was that.”
While we don’t really blame the late legendary visionary Peter Bogdanovich for his review of Cher considering her alleged long history of disliking men, the pop singer just might have changed over the years to become a better version of herself.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
